After Racing my MT ET Radials too sticky for the Street #1647510 07/17/14 11:45 AM 07/17/14 11:45 AM

Now they are so sticky driving on the street that they pick up stones and everything else. In the past after just a little street driving they would like glaze over and not be to bad. Now after driving them at least 20 miles they are almost as sticky as just leaving the burnout box. Is there any trick to getting them to glaze over quicker or harden the top layer up? I don't want to destroy my car with stones.

My 1/4s have a thick layer of rubber/paintguard on them. If it's some residual glue left on the tires from the track, maybe do a short burnout on the street to burn it off? 8211137-LAUNCH.jpg (60 downloads) CHIP '70 hemicuda, 575" Hemi, 727, Dana 60 '69 road runner, 440-6, 18 spline 4 speed, Dana 60 '71 Demon, 340, low gear 904, 8.75 '73 Chrysler New Yorker, 440, 727, 8.75 '90 Chevy 454SS Silverado, 476" BBC, TH400, 14 bolt '06 GMC 2500HD LBZ Duramax

On my husband's Challenger with drag radials we did put on small, black mudflaps, they help a lot with preventing chips. There were lots of cars at the track yesterday with blue painter's tape on the quarters.

I have never worried about the paint on the quarters behind the tires and yet it seems to have held up better than the rest of the car. 68 Barracuda Formula S 340
